Engineering that starts with evidence.
Viki Labs is an independent engineering lab for computer vision, local LLMs, edge security and Kubernetes. Projects are led and built by its founder together with a small group of specialist collaborators. There are no layers between you and the engineers, so nothing gets lost in translation and we deliver faster than larger firms. That is our key advantage.
Proven in production
AI traffic monitoring
AI-based object detection and vehicle counting, deployed in production by a former employer to monitor open truck parking spaces.
Faster device bring-up
Boot time analysis and optimization for Linux-based connected devices, delivered for a client in Belgium.
Connected-vehicle software
A stable multi-process Linux application for connected vehicles in Belgium and France: GPS data acquisition, dead reckoning, CAN data acquisition and processing, vision integration and cloud push, plus an over-the-air update module.
What we do
Five things clients come to us for.
Analyze and optimize systems
We study your existing system, find its flaws and room for improvement, and deliver a written analysis with the pros and cons of each option. Your team can evaluate it before committing.
Build tools and AI solutions
Custom software and AI-enabled solutions, built from scratch or adapted from existing ones. Before rollout, each solution is demonstrated working, with screenshots and short recorded videos, so you can verify its behavior first.
System recovery and root-cause analysis
When a system is down or stuck, we find the root cause and restore a working state.
Connect existing systems securely
We make classic, standalone systems AI-enabled and connected with minimal effort and optimized cost, linking them securely to a central data center, cloud or neo-cloud. Our focus is the infrastructure and the application layer on top of it.
Technology evaluation reports
Which database, storage solution (HDFS and others), cloud, programming language or Linux distribution fits your team? We analyze the options against your requirements, decide, and deliver a written report. Charged as a fixed-scope engagement.
Our solutions
Products and tools, each with a detail page and a working demo.
Over-the-air update solution
Secure over-the-air updates for Linux-based connected devices: an update agent on the device, a cloud engine and a web interface to plan and roll out updates. A pre-production version is available for you to evaluate in your own environment.
View solution and demo
Computer vision for your cameras
Detection, counting and anomaly detection from camera images, with a neural network trained on your own data. For example, finding damage or loose load on a truck from its image.
View solution and demo
Connected device communication
Our own edge library and cloud engine exchange data between your edge devices and your systems (server, data center, cloud or neo-cloud), reliably and without loss, using protocols such as HTTP and MQTT.
View solution and demo
Boot time analysis and optimization
We study your system to find where the boot time goes, then fix it, so your devices come up fast and start sending useful data sooner. Delivered successfully for a client in Belgium.

Explainable AI evaluation
Is your AI making correct decisions, and for the right reasons? We evaluate it with established methods such as LIME, SHAP and Grad-CAM, and with custom questionnaire applications that collect expert feedback on its decisions.
View solution and demo
Local LLM infrastructure setup
We size, set up and bring up language-model infrastructure inside your network and connect it to your documents and tools.
View solution and demo
Custom computer vision training on your data
We train an open-source detection model on your images with labels you define, on your premises or in our lab, so it recognizes the objects and conditions that matter in your operation.
